Chapter Twenty-Eight: Apprenticeship
Guo Youjun looked back, but saw that Li Rizhi looked confident, he was relieved for no reason, Li Rizhi is very capable, if he can come up with a set of rhetoric to cover up this incident, it would be a great thing!
As the mountain master of the academy, he still really felt that it was very difficult for Fu Guibao to make such an unintentional mistake, and it was absolutely impossible to accept Fu Guibao as a disciple again, and whoever did this kind of thing could no longer stay in the academy.
But if Fu Guibao is driven away, it will seem that he is the owner of the mountain, he is narrow-minded and not generous enough, why bother with a child, he will still be laughed at!
Therefore, Fu Guibao took off his pants under the shadow wall, and it was not only classmate Fu and his parents who were ashamed and embarrassed, but Guo Youjun was also extremely embarrassed, what he, the mountain master, would be laughed at!
Li Rizhi coughed, cleared his throat, and then said: "Shangyang Academy, the light of Xingyang, where thousands of scholars yearn for......"
Hearing this kind of flattery, Guo Youjun felt a little embarrassed, the sycophants were a little too much, and he was too ashamed to take it, but it didn't hurt to listen to it next!
Li Ri knew: "However, everything else in the academy is good, but this shadow wall is too shabby, although it has the elegance of the mountains and fields, it has lost its solemn taste......
Guo Youjun thought to himself: "Nonsense, this is not an official mansion, but a academy, what do you want to be solemn, do you think it is his uncle's county government hall!" However, let's listen to it, I guess he will say that it is better to build a new one! β
Li Rizhi didn't say anything, and after a while, he said: "Uncle Fu came this time to build a new shadow wall for the academy, but he was afraid that your teacher would not agree, so he made this decision, first suppressed and then raised, and let his son come here...... Come here and be naughty, so that you can repair a new shadow wall for the academy! β
Guo Youjie thought to himself: "What is suppressed first and then raised, using words indiscriminately!" I thought so in my heart, but I went down the stairs and nodded: "I see, I really didn't expect that Fu Gong was actually kind-hearted, but this method used really makes people laugh and cry!" β
Guo Youjie took advantage of the situation to go down the steps, Fu Dafa saw that there were steps, and he had to hurry down, he hurriedly said: "It's really reckless in the next place, please forgive Mr. Sanmei, I really plan to build a new shadow wall for the academy, and also, in the next 700 acres of good land, merging with the previous 300 acres, it can be regarded as a little meager bundle dedicated to the academy, I implore Mr. Sanmei to accept it!" β
The onlookers listened, and everyone smacked their tongues, okay, a thousand acres of land, this is really a rich man, too rich, too jealous, I've seen rich, but I've never seen such a rich one!
Fu Fada entered the crowd, took Fu Guibao out, kowtowed to Guo Youjun, and apologized uncontrollably, hoping to stay in the academy to study, after all, there is money for Fu Fada's sake, money is nothing, I just hope that the family can produce an official, an official, and glorify the ancestors!
Guo Youjun is not hypocritical, some things are easy to say and not good, but if there is a reasonable excuse to cover up the bad things in the past, then he absolutely accepts this kind of excuse!
Guo Youjun said with a smile: "It turned out to be Fu Gong's idea, in order to repair a new shadow wall for the academy, he actually came up with this method, it was the old man who blamed the child, but, Fu Gong, this kind of idea will be less good in the future!" β
"Don't dare, don't dare, never dare in the future!" Fu Dada said busily.
"If you build a new shadow wall, the gate of this academy doesn't seem to match, after all, this gate is too old......
"The gate of the academy has been repaired in the next one!"
"Actually, the mountain gate below is quite old!"
"Mountain Gate? Yes, it's quite old, and it's repaired in the next one, and there are steps up the mountain, and it's all covered in the next, and it's all new! β
Fu Dafa is rich, and he is willing to spend money, what an excellent student parent this is, 10,000 times better than the student, Guo Youjun is very satisfied, and the students in the academy are also very satisfied!
Guo Youjun smiled and said: "Fu Guibao, go in with the teacher!" β
With this sentence, it means that he approves of the solution of the matter, and will accept Fu Guibao as a student!
Guo Youjie's attitude is the attitude of the students, repairing the mountain gate and steps can make it convenient for the students to go up and down the mountain, but the most important thing is those fields, which can improve everyone's life, Fu's parents are very sensible and worthy of praise, the back mountain gate is actually very old, do you want to encourage Fu to make it easier, and then let his father pay a new one?
Fu Dafa saluted Li Rizhi, his face was full of gratitude, classmate Li will talk about it, turn ugly things into good things, talents, so young and so powerful, the future is limitless!
Guo Youjun took Fu Guibao back to the study, Zheng Gang ordered to observe the words and looks, and knew that the matter was successfully resolved, so he asked, "Is it a misunderstanding?" β
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding!" Fu Dafa hurriedly said, he didn't want his son's scandal to be brought up again.
Since it was a misunderstanding, then how to clarify, Zheng Gangling was not interested in listening, of course, even if it was not a misunderstanding, he was not interested in listening, nodded, Zheng Gangling said to Guo Youjun: "Old Guo, you accepted two good apprentices today, why don't you and me go down the mountain to celebrate, don't get drunk and don't return, how about it?" β
Guo Youji shook his head and said: "Don't get drunk tomorrow and don't return, today is an auspicious day, this is an auspicious time, let the two children worship the old man, the master, and it's not too late to talk about other things tomorrow!" β
Fu Dafa hurriedly said: "Yes, what Mr. Sanmei said is very true, I specially found someone to calculate it, and I also turned over the yellow calendar, today is the most advantageous apprentice, auspicious time, it looks like it has arrived!" β
Most of the people in the Tang Dynasty were very superstitious, and they had to talk about auspiciousness in everything, and if they missed an auspicious day, they had to wait for the next auspicious day to carry out, for example, if they couldn't worship today, then the next auspicious day would have to wait for a long time.
Of course, Zheng Gangling would not object, nodded yes, stepped forward and took Li Rizhi's hand, and said, "Rizhi, this is about to apprentice, do you have anything else to say to your uncle?" β
He really hopes that Li Rizhi will worship Guo Youji, but if Li Rizhi is very unwilling, then Zheng Gangling will not be too reluctant, and then find another famous teacher, or he can teach Li Rizhi himself, which is okay.
Li Rizhi asked expectantly: "I just want to ask, when is the holiday?" Well, when will Mu Xiu? β
Mu Xiu is bathing and resting, this word generally refers to the official's holiday, which means vacation, he has not yet entered school, so he thinks about vacation!
Zheng Gangling shook his head and said: "If you want to be a scholar and become a master, you need to study poetry and books hard, how can you have time to rest, and besides, you are not an official of the imperial court, what is Mu Xiu!" β
"It turns out that studying hard is to be an official, and being an official can take a break, so I can rest every day now, so why study hard?" Li Rizhi is full of words.
Zheng Gangling frowned slightly, Li Rizhi is talking about crooked reasoning, if his nephew is an adult, then this question is easy to answer, but Li Rizhi is still a child, and he can't say something to him about fame and fortune, which is more difficult.
Guo Youjun suddenly widened his eyes and said loudly to Li Rizhi: "Hugh is verbose, if you refuse to study, then the old man will beat you so much that you can't find the north!" β
Li Rizhi grinned and didn't dare to ask, but Fu Guibao next to him was not convinced, he was the most afraid of reading, and he was also afraid of being beaten, after listening to Guo Youji's truth that he would beat people if he didn't read, he muttered in a low voice: "Isn't this unreasonable!" β
"Reason? How can you know reason if you don't read? Since you don't know the reason, why should you be polite to you, if you don't beat you so that you can't find the north, can't you let you find the west! Guo Youjun glared at Fu Guibao again.
Fu Guibao stopped talking immediately, he was afraid that if he spoke again, he would really be beaten, and the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so it was the best policy to shut up in time, he was extremely rare, and he didn't talk back!
Seeing this, Fu Dafa was overjoyed, his son has always liked to talk back, like to work against his parents, he really can't control it, so he has to be sent to Shangyang Academy, I want my son to be disciplined and learn some more knowledge, but I don't want to see the effect so quickly, my son changed the bad problem of talking back on the same day!
He thought to himself: "What did Mr. Sanmei say to his son just now, beat him so much that he couldn't find the north!" It seems that his son is just underwhelmed by the beating, and he didn't discipline him well before, just because he was reluctant to beat him! β
Guo Youjun led the way, everyone went to the ancestral hall in the backyard, the ancestral hall is dedicated to the portrait of Confucius, as well as the tablet of the previous mountain masters of Shangyang Academy, all the students of the academy are considered to be Guo Youjie's disciples, so the ceremony of apprenticeship in this ancestral hall is almost several times a month, and Guo Youjie is very familiar with how to accept apprentices!
The servants in the academy were quick with their hands and feet, and Guo Youjun had just entered the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the servants brought a table of dishes, including whole mutton, whole chicken, whole fish, and all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits, these things were not for Li Rizhi and them to eat, but for the sacrifice of the ceremony.
The servants brought basins of water and hand towels, and waited for Guo Youji, Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao, washing their faces and hands, and washing them cleanly, and then the three of them entered the main house of the ancestral hall.
Guo Youjun burned incense on three pillars, chanted words in his mouth, and bowed three times to the portrait of Confucius, and then let Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao come forward to worship Confucius, and then worship him, and entered the regular admonition to the two, and the conventional admonition is the kind of clichΓ© that the master will say when all apprentices, which is much the same!
It's easy to say, but in practice, it also took half an hour, and the apprenticeship ceremony can be regarded as complete, in fact, it doesn't take such a long time, however, Li Rizhi and Fu Guibao are the nephews of the county order, and the other is the son of a rich man, they are both important figures, so Guo Youjun didn't cut corners and did a full set of apprenticeship ceremonies!
Zheng Gangling, who was saluting outside the door, said with a smile: "It's not early, it seems that we can only celebrate tomorrow!" β
Guo Youjun walked out of the ancestral hall, hummed, and said, "Then tomorrow at noon, the old man will give lessons to the students in the morning!" β
Li Rizhi also walked out, he heard Guo Youjun say that he was going to have class in the morning and was going to have a drink with his uncle at noon to celebrate, he couldn't help but ask: "Then tomorrow afternoon, is it the time for Mu Xiu in the academy?" β
